Play-MO

In June 2023 at our Triennial Conference, IPA World members voted unanimously to support advocacy for a UN declared International Day of Play.

To drive this ambition forward, the International Play Association (IPA World) was part of a dedicated network of global organisations, play experts and, most importantly, children & youth themselves, who called on UN member states to support the resolution for an International Day of Play.

We are proud to announce that on Monday 25 March 2024, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution to hold an annual international awareness day for play.

The INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PLAY will be held on JUNE 11, 2024 and annually thereafter.

A special thanks to all the partners who worked on this from across the corporate and NGO sector and especially the children and young people across the world who contributed to surveys and workshops and the call to action from Children.

We look forward to sharing more information with members over the coming days!!
